Chachoengsao:A middle-aged man committed a violent act of jealousy by breaking into his ex-wife's house, where he brutally beat her new boyfriend to death with a bat. He then used a utility knife to slash her side and sever her genitals, discarding them behind his car. The assailant was immediately apprehended and confessed to the crime, admitting he felt humiliated and satisfied by his actions.
According to Thai News Agency, CCTV footage captured the incident, showing 58-year-old Jaturong Phromsri climbing through a window into a rented room in Bang Khla District and hiding. When 30-year-old Chantima Khemmuang entered and saw her ex-husband, she fled to her new boyfriend, 55-year-old Nimit Phuangsawat. Jaturong pursued them with a bat, attacking Nimit until he collapsed. He then assaulted his ex-wife, inflicting severe injuries and mutilating her. Police arrived and arrested him while he still held the bat and knife.
Upon inspection, officers found Nimit Puangsawat severely injured on the road. Despite attempts at CPR, he succumbed to his wounds. His severed genitals were discovered behind his pickup truck. Jaturong confessed, claiming his dignity was insulted and detailing a previous incident involving his ex-wife. He stated that despite the separation, he had not accepted the end of their relationship. The police have charged him with intentional homicide, assault, and carrying a knife without justification, and are preparing to submit evidence to the court.
The deceased's family is devastated, describing Nimit as a cheerful person without known conflicts. They plan to seek justice. Meanwhile, the suspect remains in custody, showing no signs of stress during questioning, and maintaining his stance on the separation.
